Banquo's Ghost, this time round, is
the link with everything as
the lonely girl at the broken down
filling station battles
Fate for the man she loves --
and will expose not only her body but her mind
to save the strange runaway
and the drunken brute of a surrogate
father -- played by Harry Dean Stanton --
but the real dark interior --
the autistic swamp child of the wilderness --
the fatality -- the girl from Kentucky --
is played by Kim Basinger
a trashy sixteen with no past
an angel on one shoulder sighing
but perched smiling on the other a Dark Plan Witch
will out --
